    I purchased a 2008 low mileage mondeo mk 4 ('08) a few days ago. Looking at the window seals, the bottom edge on all the doors, rubber has moss growing on them . WHen i went to clean them, the rubber is crumbling and flaking away. I haven't seen this happen on a car since the 1980s !! I have driven german brands up to now but surely Ford add some kind of anti-mould formula to the rubber they use for window seals etc?:confused:

    That's odd, i've an 05 mk3 and they're fine. Must have cut back in ingredients on the mk4. Shouldn't be happening for sure!

    Every year I coat all the seals with Silicon Spray, keeps them in good nick and creates a better seal.

    Just make sure you dont get any on the windows, total ar$e to get off :p

    Seals arent that big a deal to replace anyway, just held on with some clips.
